Confusing Brains with a Bull Market

There is an old saying, “Don’t confuse brains with a bull market.” I tried to tell a number of friends this the last year or two. It was meant constructively, since I was the only one most of them knew who actually flourished during the last crash. No one was interested though. Kind of like …

Flour, Water, Salt, and Yeast

You know, with some flour, water, salt, and a little yeast, you can bake bread. You have to have an oven of course. The country went out and bought not flour however, or yeast, but toilet paper. It really shows you which end they are preoccupied with, and perhaps the developmental stage they’re at. Originally …

Rachmaninoff: Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini

So who will stand the test of time, Rachmaninoff or someone named Dawg? Sadly, that probably depends on the culture. A culture that now looks down, instead of up. And that seems to be the direction we’re going – down. Any culture that glorifies all that is nasty and evil instead of all that is …

Debussy: Clair de Lune as Art

Another post in our ongoing quest to determine whether there is intrinsic value in great works of art, or whether one person’s turd is just as great as another’s Debussy, well, because someone decided it was… 5:29 – Kathia Buniatishvili – Claude Debussy: Clair de lune For anyone who is actually listening to these, here …

The Lord Giveth Increase, but Man Devised Credit

Ever more proof that man does not learn from history – and, in all his greed, pride and arrogance, in fact has little interest in it at all, at least in any real history… “The Lord giveth increase, but man devised credit.” “The general shape of the universal delusion may be indicated by three of …

Wall Street Banks Continue Doing God’s Work

“We are doing God’s work,” said Lloyd Blankfein, CEO of Goldman Sachs in 2009. Let’s take a quick look at that. In contrast let us also establish the definition of usury, a concept abominable since Biblical times. usury – noun the illegal action or practice of lending money at unreasonably high rates of interest. interest …

A Personal Look at the Patriarchy

At seventeen I rebuilt my first V8 engine from the block up. I had a friend whose mother was dating a German who had been a mechanic on the Porsche international racing team. He asked if he could drive my car. I was pleased to have him do so and handed him the keys. Off …

The Call Girl Principle

Sharing a more personal post this evening. I hope you enjoy… The Call Girl Principle states that the value of services diminishes rapidly once those services have been rendered. This principle may take many forms. There is a story about a banquet that was thrown after Columbus returned to Spain, having ‘discovered’ the New World. …

It’s okay when we do it…

The U.S. Government does not know what “happened” to $21,000,000,000,000.00 ($21 Trillion) of past budgets. This is just the official number. The actual number is about double this (not counting unfunded liabilities). When pushed for an answer they say “Trust us. It’s a ‘national security’ issue.” That’s their answer for everything. The biggest accounting swindle …

Times Have Changed – or Have They?

I was reading about some of the “tests” that were conducted 300 years ago to determine whether or not one was a witch. Truly bizarre, frightening even, if one considers the notion of having them done on themselves. In one test they would bind you and then throw you in the river to see if …

The Most Powerful Gas in the Known Universe

I was listening to a debate between two “Climate Scientists” three weeks ago. One believed in Global Warming – AND that it was caused by man. The other did not. Regarding the composition of Earth’s atmosphere, they agreed that nitrogen gas accounts for about 78%. Oxygen is about 21% and argon is just less than …

Let’s Trade with China…

I see where people In Hong Kong are waving the American flag in protest of the Chinese Communist government clamping down on their rights. It made me think that maybe all the “Liberals” over here who want Socialism so bad would love to go to China and see how they like the grown up version …

Musings, and Future Postings

A friend commented to me that the site (this site) “looks kind of random but seems like currently relevant material.” It may seem random, and in some ways it is, but I want to take a moment to give some perspective. My intentions here are multifaceted. For one, I want to post current stuff in …

Kol Nidre – Different Rules for Me and Thee

It is my intention to do a post or series of posts on this topic after doing more research, but I wanted to open this up for discussion. I want us to have a copy here of the Talmud for reference and research, and have been looking for a good resource for that. I believe …

thoughts on mindful anonymity…

When I first started thinking about this site I assumed it would be mostly anonymous. Not so that people could hide behind some facade (people including myself), but so that we might speak freely without fear of repercussions by some real-life whack-job. Using pseudonyms has been done throughout the ages. That being said, I have …

Sharpton sets the record straight

“White folks was in the caves while we (blacks) was building empires. … We built pyramids before Donald Trump ever knew what architecture was. … We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and them Greek homos ever got around to it.” — Reverend Al Sharpton
